ComfyUI Node: ⭐ Star Image Input (Dynamic)

⭐ Star Image Input (Dynamic):

The StarImageSwitch node is designed to dynamically manage image inputs within a node-based workflow, providing flexibility and ease of use for AI artists. Its primary function is to select and process the first available image from a series of potential inputs, up to a maximum of 20. This capability allows users to seamlessly integrate multiple image sources into their projects without the need for complex configurations. If no image is connected, the node intelligently generates a default image, ensuring that the workflow remains uninterrupted. This default image is a 512x512 gray image with a subtle visual pattern, which can be useful for testing or placeholder purposes. The StarImageSwitch node is particularly beneficial for projects that require dynamic image input handling, offering a straightforward solution to manage multiple image sources efficiently.

⭐ Star Image Input (Dynamic) Input Parameters:

Image 1

This optional parameter allows you to connect an image to the node. The node will attempt to process the first connected image from a series of potential inputs, up to 20. If an image is connected to this parameter, it will be prioritized for processing. The parameter does not have a minimum or maximum value, as it simply accepts an image input. If no image is connected, the node will generate a default image. This parameter is crucial for determining which image the node will process, providing flexibility in managing multiple image sources.

⭐ Star Image Input (Dynamic) Output Parameters:

img_out

The output parameter img_out represents the processed image that the node returns. If an image is connected to the input, this output will be the same image, allowing it to be used in subsequent nodes within the workflow. If no image is connected, the output will be a default 512x512 gray image with a visual pattern. This output is essential for ensuring that the workflow continues smoothly, even in the absence of a connected image, by providing a consistent and predictable image output.

⭐ Star Image Input (Dynamic) Usage Tips:

• To effectively utilize the StarImageSwitch node, connect your primary image source to the first available input. This ensures that the node processes your desired image without defaulting to the placeholder.
• Use the node in scenarios where you anticipate varying image inputs, as it can handle up to 20 different sources, providing flexibility and reducing the need for manual reconfiguration.

⭐ Star Image Input (Dynamic) Common Errors and Solutions:

No image connected

• Explanation: This error occurs when no image is connected to any of the input slots, and the node defaults to generating a placeholder image.
• Solution: Ensure that at least one image is connected to the node's input slots to avoid using the default image. Check your connections and verify that the intended image source is properly linked.

Unexpected output size

• Explanation: The output image size may not match expectations if the node defaults to the placeholder image.
• Solution: Verify that the correct image is connected to the input. If the output size is still unexpected, check the dimensions of the connected image to ensure they align with your project requirements.
